Clean Skin Starts Here
Cleansing is the first step in any effective skincare routine. It helps remove oil, sunscreen, makeup, and daily buildup so the rest of your products can work on clean skin. At ARC, our cleanser category includes formulas for different skin types and preferences, from light gels to richer cream and oil cleansers. Experts generally recommend choosing a cleanser that suits your skin type and cleans effectively without leaving skin feeling tight or stripped.
Finding the Right Cleanser for Your Skin Type
The right cleanser should match your skin's needs. Oily or combination skin often does well with lightweight gel or foaming cleansers, while dry or sensitive skin usually benefits from gentler, more hydrating textures. Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel is a soap-free foaming gel cleanser designed to remove impurities without disrupting the skin’s natural moisture balance, making it a strong everyday option for a wide range of skin types.
Morning vs Evening Cleansing Routines
Morning cleansing can be simple, whether that is a gentle cleanse or even a rinse, depending on your skin type and routine. In the evening, cleansing should be more thorough to properly remove sunscreen, makeup, excess oil, and the day’s buildup. If you wear heavier makeup or multiple layers of SPF, a double cleanse at night can help leave skin properly clean without overdoing it.
